Darksend is a remake of coinjoin.

Enough said

All the props to coinjoin for laying down the foundation!

Remake? There wasn't ever a MAKE to begin with. It was a model outline.

Gmaxwell didn't code it. He said that's how I think of it and perhaps someone can build it (and be mad enough to get associated as an enabler of criminal activity Tongue

). Evan of DRK did it (in a different way because the model had problems) and he's now all over the world news.

Anyway in the words of the "Father":

Sounds great! Where is it?

Theres the rub: There exist no ready made, easy-to-use software for doing this. You can make the transactions by hand using bitcoin-qt and the raw transactions API, as we did in that "taint rich" thread, but to make this into a practical reality we need easy-to-use automated tools.

...

Personally, most of my coding brain capacity is spent on other things which are even more important to me. And what I could spare on Bitcoin is spent on more core and security things if I work on anything wallet related anytime soon it will likely be improving the privacy behavior of coin selection... But moreover:

Anyone who builds this is going to be accused of enabling criminal activity, it doesn't matter if any actual criminals use this or not: Criminal activity sells headlines. Being a Bitcoin core developer already fills my quota for accusations of this kind, especially my quota for risk that I'm not even paid for.

In reality, real criminals don't need CoinJoin if they have even the slightest clue: They can afford to buy privacy in a way that regular users cannot, it's just a cost of their (often lucrative) business.

....

I know that making such a tool doesn't fit into the get-rich-quick mold of many Bitcoin businesses, but the importance is self-apparent and the simplest versions of this don't require very deep technical wizardry. I think the "political" risk of improving people's privacy is a real one that you should carefully consider, but around these parts I see people sticking their names on some rather outrageously risky stuff. I'd hoped the "taint rich" thread would be enough to inspire some community action, but perhaps this will be.

So, instead, I ask you: Where is it?

Ahhh so that is where the blue print came from. Very nice Cool
